Shanti Sadan is a centre of the Yoga of Self-Knowledge, Adhyatma Yoga.
This Yoga is based on the philosophy of non-duality, Advaita Vedanta, which is taught in the Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita as interpreted by Shri Shankara.
The Upanishads declare that the true Self of each individual is not in essence different from the universal Self, called God or the Absolute. Direct realization of this identity is the highest goal of life, and brings the complete cessation of all limitations and suffering.
Adhyatma Yoga is a traditional path to Self-Realization, through ethical living, devotion to truth, study, service and learning meditation.
The teaching is universal and is free from sectarianism and political or nationalistic bias. It encourages a love of wisdom and true spirituality, whatever its source.
